For starters, they are not "hardtops" in the sense of having no upper B-pillar, but rather they are Club Coupes (AKA 2dr sedans).  That said, there were no noticeable trim differences between 1952 and 1953, save for the grille (1952 had a pair of vertical grille bars exposed to the outside, in an inverted Vee shape, and a different, Vee-themed hood ornament.  In short, only detail differences.  The interior upholstery is also different, having a different treatment for the armrests, which were "faired in" with the upholstery.

The black and cream coupe is a '53, the red convertible is a '52:
